MY MINIONS

MY MINIONS

October 31, 2014 | MAMA CHICKPEA

Everybody loves a minion, right?!  Well, WE DO!

So, since budget is the name of the game, and Halloween costumes were my task, I set out for yet another awesome family costume idea.  This year, it HAD to be Despicable Me!

I made the hats, goggles, Gru symbols, Gru’s nose & scarf, and even retro-fitted two pairs of outlet toddler overalls, covering up the awful logo design on the lapel with matching upcycled pockets. My overalls were “vintage” Goodwill.  Since I got 3 orders for matching scarf, goggle, and Gru symbol patches, I was able to make all the accessories for a mere $15 extra, after making the orders!

A-W-E-S-O-M-E!
